Hi everyone,
I sadly think I know the answer already (i.e. no) but does anyone know if it is possible to compile the Linux drivers for the TSB tuner cards (specifically the TBS6285 http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/) on FreeBSD?
I've been playing around with FreeNAS for the last few days looking to replace my cobbled together fileserver with something more feature-full and it looks and works great. I had been running a MythTV backend on this machine and use the aforementioned TBS6285 quad DVB-T tuner so after getting my storage set up this was my next task. I have followed Gav Owens guide to setting up my MythTV environment in a FreeNAS jail (http://gavowen.ninja/?p=102) and got all that working but I failed when trying to make the TSB drivers (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS6284) - the process for installing under Linux is the same for the 6284 card. This was when googling led me to discover that FreeBSD is not Linux (D'oh!)
Make complains about a load of missing dependency operators and gmake complains about the lack of lsmod which I now discover is a Linux not BSD tool so makes a lot of sense!
I've run various Debian machines for the last 10 years but would still describe myself as a novice with Linux and FreeBSD isn't even Linux! At the very least it would be useful to know if what I want to achieve is even possible!
If not are there any good DVB tuner cards that work natively in FreeBSD?
So yeah, silly me for not reading everything first but I've always preferred the hands on approach. Any thoughts?
